CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
3.1. Research Design
According to Borg and Gall 2003:567 evaluation plays a key role in educational research and development R D. They think that educational R D is an industry based development
model in which findings of research are used to design fresh products and procedures, which then are systematically field-tested, evaluated, and refined until they meet specified criteria of
effectiveness, quality, or similar standard. Borg and Gall also stress that educational R D, accounts for less than one percent of each education dollar. Nonetheless, it has promised for
improving education because it involves a close connection between systematic program evaluation and program development.
The writer uses R D because this research develops the formative assessment on recount for the ten graders of senior high school 11 Semarang. He divides this R D into two phases:
the first, the need assessment for English teachers to know the formative assessments which are needed or not. The second is developing the formative assessment.
